Victorian Aboriginal Aged Care Summit to discuss what it’s like to be an Aboriginal Elder today

Co-convened by the Victorian Aboriginal Community Controlled Health Organisation (VACCHO) and the Victorian Committee Aboriginal for Aged Care & Disability (VCAACD), the 2-day Victorian Aboriginal Aged Care Summit will commemorate and celebrate the vital role that Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Elders play as the heart and soul of their Communities.

“We’ll be hearing from them (the Elders) about the changes that they have witnessed over their lives and their aspirations for the future of their communities and the quality of life that we need to ensure we maintain for all of our Elders, both Elders that we have now and our emerging Elders as well.” - Abe Ropitini VACCHO’s Executive Director of Population health
